Ok so Brunson may not be the PERFECT match for Luka but there is a saying about letting the perfect be the enemy of the good and all that. Bev would be fine as a stopgap but he isn’t a long term solution. He would ok as a secondary playmaker. And he shot 34.6 from 3 and only 40% from the field last season. Brunson is so much better offensively it isn’t funny. Bev is injured a ton. I guess if all it costs is Powell and removing pick protection on ‘23 I could see it. I still wouldn’t see how Powell, Dragic for “free” and keeping top 10 protected in a loaded draft isn’t preferable to Bev. Especially if Dragic here would make Luka super happy! Unless Luka doesn’t really care that much, or there is more to the story than what Dragic said. No reason to doubt him though. Not to mention Brunson seemed pretty tight with Luka and Maxi and the guys. Interested to see how they salvage this. If Bev is the end result it’ll be somewhat underwhelming to me, acknowledging that he is a useful, yet limited, player in his own way.
